Jeroboam expands the area of Israel considerably (see also 2 Kings 14:28). The king of Judah is able to do the same (see 2 Chronicles 26:1–23); and so, both kingdoms together had the same size again as in the time of David. This was prophesied by Jonah—the same prophet as in the Bible book with that name.
25 Il rétablit les limites d'Israël depuis l'entrée de Hamath jusqu'à la mer de la plaine, selon la parole que l'Eternel, le Dieu d'Israël, avait prononcée par son serviteur Jonas, le prophète, fils d'Amitthaï, de Gath-Hépher.
